How We Rate Betting Sites: Our Review Methodology

Every rating on Habiba Bet is our own editorial judgement, not a paid placement. This page explains exactly how we reach it, so you can weigh our reviews for yourself. For adults 18+.

What we check on every operator

• Licensing. Who regulates the site, and whether the licence is verifiable in a public register.
• Bonus terms, in full. Wagering requirement, minimum deposit, expiry and game weighting — the real cost of an offer, not the headline number.
• Payout reliability and speed. How quickly a genuine withdrawal reaches your account, and whether players report problems getting paid.
• Market and game depth. The breadth of sports, leagues and casino games that actually matter to our readers.
• Customer support. Whether help is reachable and useful when something goes wrong.
• Responsible-gambling tools. Deposit limits, self-exclusion and clear help links.

How the score is built

We weight the things that protect you — licensing, honest terms and getting paid — above cosmetic extras. A big bonus with a punishing wagering requirement scores lower than a smaller, fair one. Scores map to a 5-star rating, and we revisit them as sites change.

How we stay independent

We may earn a commission if you sign up through some of our links, and this never changes a rating or a ranking. Where a link is affiliate, we say so. We do not accept payment for a higher score, and we do not present any operator as "certified halal" — that is a content frame, not a religious endorsement.

Who writes our reviews

Our reviews and guides are written by named writers with stated areas of focus — see Karim Haddad and Layla Mansour. Betting is for adults 18+; play responsibly, and if it stops feeling like a free choice, free help is at gamblingtherapy.org.
